Claude, copy git-prime but make it git-hexspeak instead https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexspeak


damn. there's nothing new under the sun...

Just be aware that there are more prime hashes than there are hashes with a specific 2 hex-digit prefix, so even relatively short messages will be much harder to find.

worth it. plus my room is cold so I need my CPU to heat it up.

Cute. 8008CAFE

Meanwhile they are NOT laser-focusing on doing more of Lunar Lake, with its on-package memory and glorious battery life.

Intel called it a “one-off mistake”, it’s the best mistake Intel ever made.


Intel is claiming that Panther lake has 30% better battery life than Lunar Lake.

Perhaps in a vacuum…

On package memory is claimed to be a 40% reduction in power consumption. To beat actual LL by 30%, it means the PL chip must actually be ~58% more efficient in an apples-to-apples non-SoC configuration.

Possible if they doped PL’s silicon with magic pixie dust.


> On package memory is claimed to be a 40% reduction in power consumption.

40% reduction in what power consumption? I don't think memory is usually responsible for even 40% of the total SoC + memory power, and bringing memory on-package doesn't make it consume negative power.


Lunar Lake had a 40% reduction in PHY power use by using memory directly onto the processor packaging (MoP)...roughly going from 3-4 Watts to 2 Watts...

Do you have more information on that? I have a meteor lake laptop (pre-Lunar Lake) and the entire machine averages ~4W most of the time, including screen, wifi, storage and everything else. So, I dont see how the CPU memory controller can use 3-4W unless it is for irrelevantly brief periods of time.

That's peak usage. I don't know how reduced the PHY power usage is when there aren't any memory accesses. For comparison, the peak wattage of Meteor Lake is something like 30-60 Watts.

They acknowledge “grad unemployment is on the rise” and their explanation is we are “in an economic downturn”. Meanwhile stock market is at all-time highs.

Whoever wrote this article is likely also high, or at least delusional.


The common viewpoint is that we are practically in an economic downturn, but the overall stock market is being propped up by circular spending within the AI bubble.

Compared to Cola Bottle Baby it’s harder, better, faster, and some would even say stronger.

Two reasons.

First, YJIT/ZJIT do much better when they know the type signatures of methods. You pay a performance penalty for implicit polymorphism, e.g. using a mix of types (Integer, Symbol, String) etc in the same method argument.

Second, from my experience with Typescript, as much as I naturally dislike type declarations, I find it does help LLMs. Having strongly typed libs/gems and being able to mix in untyped app code would be a nice balance.


> First, YJIT/ZJIT do much better when they know the type signatures of methods.

The running interpreter knows the type of objects. Ruby isn't untyped.

The annotations do nothing for the interpreter.


I meant to say: strict “ahead-of-time” static typing would help a theoretical successor to Y/ZJIT—not the current JITs in their as-is form.

YJIT and ZJIT don't use method annotations.

Ouch. Well it is Gemini I guess :D


Nation states can fire missiles at your space datacenter, bruh.


Or just triangulate any signals being sent to it, and fire missiles at the source.


Or just blast it with a laser...


There was one in Hakone, Japan which opened in 1999 and closed in 2023. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_The_Little_Prince_in...


It was one of my fondest memory of my first travel in Japan, we had no clue that such site was there, so when we took the bus from whatever train station to the onsen hotel, and we passed in front of it, as a French, it was jaw dropping to see such place. Even crazier was when we actually visited it, they really captured my home region. Unbelievable experience.


Oh, it closed? That's too bad! We visited it when we were in Hakone in 2017—it was a remarkable experience finding it in Japan!


Yeah but AI can also generate a picture of any cake you prompt it.
